I just could not let blueberry season slip away without making blueberry pancakes at least once. Luckily there were still a lot of blueberries at the farmers market on the weekend and I picked some up. For a recipe, I started with the
banana buttermilk pancakes
that I had made a while ago and really liked. I have been trying to work more whole wheat flour into my baking lately so I swapped some in for some of the all purpose flour. I replaced the remaining all purpose flour with some ground rolled oats as I had done in the
blueberry maple oatmeal muffins
that I had just made. The blueberry oatmeal pancakes turned out pretty good. They were a bit more difficult to flip than normal pancakes but they had a nice light texture and they were really moist. I served the pancakes with some maple syrup, blueberries and pecans as garnish. I enjoyed the pancakes so mush that I made them again on the weekend. The second time I made them I enjoyed them with the remaining blueberry maple syrup from the
blueberry and shrimp salad
from earlier in the week.

Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes

ingredients

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup rolled oats (ground in food processor)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon maple syrup

1 cup buttermilk

1 egg

2 tablespoons butter (melted)

1 overripe banana (mashed)

1/2 cup blueberries

directions

Mix the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.

Mix the maple syrup, buttermilk, egg, butter and banana in another bowl.

Mix the wet and dry ingredients.

Mix in the blueberries.

Heat a pan and melt a touch of butter in it.

Pour 1/4 cup of the mixture into the pan and cook until the surface starts to bubble and the bottom is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip the pancake and cook the other side until the bottom is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

LOL - you totally do what I do. When you've gotta get rid of something - the next few meals have that main ingredient. I bought a bunch of shrimp and fish this past weekend - can we just say that seafood is on the menu for the next few days - lol.

this was the PERFECT recipe! not only were the pancakes light and moist as you said, but they're incredibly healthy too! i substituted yogurt and a bit of water in the place of buttermilk, and they still turned out wonderfully. thank you so much for sharing your recipe with us! :D
